    Purely extradural spinal nerve root hemangioblastomas
    (MEDKNOW PUBLICATIONS \& MEDIA PVT LTD, 2016-01-01) Aytar, Murat Hamit; Yener, Ulas; Eksi, Murat Sakir; Kaya, Behram; Ozgen, Serdar; Sav, Aydin; Alanay, Ahmet
    Spinal nerve root hemangioblastomas present mostly as intradural-extradurally. Purely extradural spinal nerve root hemangioblastoma is a very rare entity. In this study, we aimed to analyze epidemiological perspectives of purely extradural spinal nerve root hemangioblastomas presented in English medical literature in addition to our own exemplary case. PubMed/MEDLINE was searched using the terms ``hemangioblastoma,{''} ``extradural,{''} ``spinal,{''} and ``nerve root.{''} Demographical variables of age, gender, concomitant presence of von Hippel-Lindau (VHL) disease

    Usefulness of End-to-Side Bridging Anastomosis of Sural Nerve to Tibial Nerve : An Experimental Research
    (KOREAN NEUROSURGICAL SOC, 2017-01-01) Civi, Soner; Durdag, Emre; Aytar, Murat Hamit; Kardes, Ozgur; Kaymaz, Figen; Aykol, Sukru
    Objective : Repair of sensorial nerve defect is an important issue on peripheric nerve surgery. The aim of the present study was to determine the effects of sensory-motor nerve bridging on the denervated dermatomal area, in rats with sensory nerve defects, using a neural cell adhesion molecule (NCAM). Methods : We compared the efficacy of end-to-side (ETS) coaptation of the tibial nerve for sural nerve defect repair, in 32 Sprague-Dawley rats. Rats were assigned to 1 of 4 groups : group A was the sham operated group, group B rats had sural nerves sectioned and buried in neighboring muscles, group C experienced nerve sectioning and end-to-end (ETE) anastomosis, and group D had sural nerves sectioned and ETS anastomosis was performed using atibial nerve bridge. Neurological evaluation included the skin pinch test and histological evaluation was performed by assessing NCAM expression in nerve terminals. Results : Rats in the denervated group yielded negative results for the skin pinch tests, while animals in the surgical intervention groups (group C and D) demonstrated positive results. As predicted, there were no positively stained skin specimens in the denervated group (group B)

    A Rare Case of Paraneoplastic Limbic Encephalitis leading to Epileptic Seizure in a Patient with Ovarian Carcinoma
    (EMERGENCY MEDICINE PHYSICIANS ASSOC TURKEY, 2022-01-01) Aytar, Murat Hamit; Kilickan, Levent; Ustun, Cemal; Akkilic, Elvan Cevizci
    Paraneoplastic limbic encephalitis (PLE), a rare and diagnostically-challenging encephalopathy, is frequently associated with an underlying malign neoplastic tumor. Epileptic symptoms are uncommon but can be the first sign of the disease. We present a patient admitted to our intensive care unit (ICU) unit with epileptic seizure and a Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) of six. All tests and investigations that had been utilized for this patient's diagnosis, including blood tests, serological analyses, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), electroencephalogram (EEG) and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) test results were evaluated. The patient had been diagnosed with ovarian carcinoma within the last year. The patient's cancer history, her most recent complaints and MRI results were strongly suspicious for paraneoplastic limbic encephalitis. Her neurological condition improved rapidly in a few days with steroid therapy. This case showed that any neurological deterioration based on an ovarian oncologic disease can bring PLE to mind. The possibility of PLE must be taken into consideration in patients presenting with epileptic seizures after neoplastic diagnoses.
